I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Express (Salt Lake City, UT) in Jun 2015
Interview
Filled out a little card in store so they could look out for my application, then applied online. There was a quiz that I had to take. The quiz was really easy, mostly just things like "would you come to work high?" and "would you tell your friends that you could 'hook them up' with a discount?" Obviously, you answer no to both of those, regardless of the truth. Take the quiz as if your grandma is going to see the answers. I later found out that a lot of people actually somehow fail the quiz, and if you do, Express won't even consider you.
I first applied online, and then I got an interview date and time, and then I went into the location for the interview. After that I just waited for a little bit of time and then I was sent an offer that I signed
Applied online, interviewed in person the next day. Interview was basically a vibe check. More important to apply during peak season (early spring or early fall) when they're hiring the most. Make sure you have availability on the weekend.
Easy and straight forward interview. They ask for your availability and if have fashion experience. Also, asks about previous sales and customer service experience. The job itself is not hard at all.
